Babe Zaharias Golf Course
About
Located just 20 minutes from downtown in the Forest Hills section of Tampa, Babe Zaharias Golf Course meanders through a tree-lined residential neighborhood. The golf course measures a modest 6,020 yards, but should not be taken lightly. Although both nines on "The Babe" are par 35, the back side sports four par-4 holes in excess of 400 yards, providing a challenge for golfers of all skill levels.

Had a great time with our friends and a good round of golf
Very Good Condition
Fairways and greens in very good shape compared to other public courses in area. This course offers
challenges for high handicap golfers but not so many to ruin a day out with friends.
Overpriced
The day was nice & sunny. No starter; after loading up I went to the 1st tee. Met a 3-some who just Tee'd off & asked if I could join them. They said yes & we were on our way. They showed me around the course. We talked about Living in Florida. All. 3 have lived here for quite some time. And i'm new. Condition of course could use some. rejuvenating., to justify the $41 I paid. I understand the time of year; but the place was packed all day. There is better choices for the money. But thanks to my playing partners, I had a great time. Will come back from time to time. And just a suggestion to local courses. If you don't want people to bring personal coolers (I don't). Sell beers & sodas @ a reasonable price. I paid $4 + tip for soda. I personally like to support local courses with range balls & buying drinks. But these things are getting a little outrageous.
Good day at the babe
Greens are in very good shape
Some confusion with the nines named babe and George, instead of #1 and #10 but all worked out
Some interesting holes with water but was a fun day
Pretty good course.
Well worth the $35 dollars we paid and the hour we drove to get here. We'll be back. Keep up the good work. The Babe would be proud of you.
DON'T WASTE TOUR MONEY
DON'T WASTE TOUR MONEY. THE COURSE WAS IN POOR CONDITION.IT TOOK 70 MINUTES TO PLAY 4 HOLES. WE LEFT THE COURSE AFTER 4 HOLES THE PACE OF PLAY WAS BRUTAL
The course is not in good shape
There was full of leaf in the mid of fairway and it is hard to find balls even you have a straight shot. Disappointing! The green is very slow. I will not come back.
Nice city course in great shape for the season!
Played with some friends this past Saturday morning 8 a.m. We have had some cold weather and even though the grass in the rough in dormant the fairways and green were is very good shape. The greenskeeper there is doing a good job. Bunker were raked and shaped recently as well. All in a nice course and usually very reasonable.
Rainy day outing
The course is in good condition. It was a rainy day so we never saw anyone else the whole round. Greens are nicely manicured, but as I said it was a rainy day so they did play a little slow. It’s not hard to reach most greens in regulation.
Simple layout in good condition
For a city owned course and $24, this course is in great condition. It’s a fun course to play. The layout is pretty simple. Although it’s short, you can hit driver on most 4s and 5s.
Fairways and Greens in good shape
Tee Boxes and fairways are nice and green. The Greens are in good shape. All was Fine.
